programs are available and what employers are looking for after they
graduate - and more. 

NASA engineers and cooperative education students, along with
representatives from private industry and universities with colleges
of engineering, will provide literature, exhibits and demonstrations,
and be available to answer students' questions. 

The event is co-sponsored by JSC, Space Center Houston and Aerospace
